That seems like a worthwhile sort of a budget modification, particularly for those with not too huge tyres
Anyone here actually running one
Anyone have experience with em
They're pretty well equivalent to a series 1 correct

There is a bloke in our club running one behind an isuzu diesel, has been for over a year with no problems that I know of.

is his one made by the mob on that page for $200, did he get it done somewhere else, or did he do it himself?

No pretty sure he "made" it himself (with his dad?)
A 41/23 cluster had its 41 teerh ground off and was machined down
to about the diameter of the body of the cluster.
Next the guts of a 53/32 teeth counter shaft was cut out to keep
the 53 tooth gear. The hole in the guts of the 53 gear was left 4 thou
to small at room temp' so at 600-800 Deg C it would 'press' onto the .
stub left on the 41/23 cluster where the 41 tooth gear used to live.
This would have been good enough, but my brother had a weld run over
the join on the outer side.( not seen in the PIC.)
That bit cost the $200

yeah ive seen a few of them while diving around the coast of tassie. they are bright orange and like to hide in holes away from prying human hands. if you would like to learn how to cook a rocklobster refer to the 4wd Monthly "Tassie Adventure" DVD.
